Cascade Lakes Hwy Part 2

I wanted to share a map that takes you to the Cascade Lakes Byway

We continued on down the road by passing some of the other lakes that we will go too again at another time but we wanted to go to Hosmer Lake as there is a little campground called Fawn campground that we found last yr. Kind of neat little out of the way place but not were people don't know were it is, as it was pretty crowded. 20 camp sites for up to 30 ft motor homes $8.00 camp fee

This Lake is actually Elk Lake and great for those that like to windsurf and sail boats

It has a nice little beach area but oh my that water is cold. Princess had a good time, there was a little boy that spotted her and he came to her but all he wanted to do was pour water on her, she didn't like being that close to him.
We also heard that the radiator was boiling in the jeep, oh no not a good sign, so Nevada got some water out of the lake and poured it in the reservoir and we decided that we better head for home as we didn't want to get stranded out there, as it was pretty hot, i think the temperature was 92 degrees. Well so much for a day outing.
So till next time in and around Oregon.

Cascade Lakes Hwy.

I woke up Sunday morning and told Nevada that i had been cooped up long enough and a drive was in order. So we packed a few munchies and loaded up in the jeep, we hadn't driven it much so thought it needed to go for a stroll in the hills.
We stopped at Fred Meyers to fill up, yikes it cost $79. 00 bucks to fill it up, I think it was $4.18 with the card. I guess the jeep has a bigger tank then the Envoy.

Ok well we head to Mt Bachelor as i wanted to do the Cascade Lakes National Scenic Byway
So forgetting that we had to have a pass we stopped at Todd Lake
As we had never walked into it. Yes you have to walk there, you can park in the parking area, well we got our day pass which was $5.00 yikes the price sure went up i think it used to be $3
Anyway as we were getting ready to go these folks stopped and said it was really muddy getting to the lake, and only having my flip flops we decided to by pass it this time again.

Here is the little falls just before you get to the parking area of Todd LakeWe continued on and stopped at Sparks Lake were the view is spectacular and there is a few camping places for your rv's or just tenting .The campground is called Soda Creek and it is a free camping area it has 10 sites with vaulted toilets up to a 30 ft Motor home.
Princess sure had a good time licking up some nice cold water out of the stream. We also spotted a few frogs
